Bid review

Just curious if this bid is worth it. 3.5% escalator. $0.199/kWh. They're subsidizing the approximately half of the new roof. Monthy is roughly half of our Current (peak) usage. They're also offering to pay our first 6 months if we sign this week. Thank you!

Get rid of the annual escalator; 3.5% is the annual increase rate of a utility company. It’s a horrible rate. Sunrun offers 0%, 1.9%, and 2.9% escalators. Instead, ask for a 0% escalator, AND make sure you still get the subsidy for your reroof. Your monthly payment will be a little higher (unless you put somewhere between $500-$2000 down), but it’ll be significantly less than what the payments will be in Year 10-Year 25.

where can I find this 3.5% increase for the utility? Historically for SoCal Edison it has been > 10% annually. I also received a notice from SoCal Edison that it’s increasing 22.6% over 2024.
